Seasons Change
Posted by Patrizio on 10/11/23
Inevitable as all things, the seasons change, the tides rise and fall, day follows night, and night follows day.
Many seasons have passed since the liberation of the Saffron Chain from the Skal'daja, and more still since Belladonna Pravus's rise to power in the wake of the assassination of Duke Piero.
Her dream of establishing Pravus as strong and equal among the Great Houses of Arvum now realized, our Archduchess Belladonna has signalled that it is time for her to step aside and exit the stage to allow others to take up the mantle of leadership, so that her many successes be built upon, and her vision for the Saffron Chain may continue to flourish.
With sincere appreciation for all of her efforts, the Choir has accepted Belladonna's writ of abdication so that she may finally be free to pursue interests that have long been set aside and enjoy her son's formative years. We know that all of House Pravus, and Arvum, wishes her well in this new journey, a worthy reward for her years of devoted service to our house, domain, and Compact. May the Thirteen smile upon their efforts.
With profound respect for those who have come before, and in line with Belladonna's wishes in her abdication, it is my great honour and duty to step forward to take up the banner and lead Pravus going forward. I do not take such a weighty responsibility lightly and pledge my loyalty and vow to do my best for Pravus, the Saffron, and all those who have freely sworn their fealty to us and call us friend and ally.
I look forward to working with one and all to usher in an epoch of great success, respect, and friendship between our houses and with all those in Arvum, so that together we may build a brighter and better future for all within the Compact.
May the Compact endure, and may Setara and the Saffron prosper.
By my own hand, this 27th day of December of 1020 AR,
Patrizio of Pravus
Archduke of Setara
